Facebook has recently updated Pages by introducing “Promote” button on status update. This feature is exclusively released for pages so that businesses can pay for the post and make it more visible to its Fans on News Feed. The sole purpose of Facebook to introduce this option is to make Businesses more engaging and increase there growth as this will appear to more of the Fans.

Facebook has revealed that a post is seen by only 16% of the Fans. In order to increase the visibility Facebook has kept a very minimal charge for the brands . A brand can now pay $5, $10, $15 or $20 to “get more people who like your Page to see this post.”

Promoted post will look different from regular Post as they would be labeled with “Sponsored” in the news feed. This new feature can also be considered as new strategy by Facebook to generate more revenue and provide a potential growth to its customers. Facebook has turned itself as a Public company, initially turning out its IPO.

We have seen a fall in the share of Facebook after the release. But according to the investors Facebook has a vast network and this downfall will not create much effect to it.
